Python has supported the concept of type hinting for quite a while now. However, unlike other programming languages, Python does not enforce type hints. You must use an external tool, such as Mypy, for that. In this tutorial, you will learn all about TypedDict, a special way of adding type hinting to Heterogeneous dictionaries. A heterogeneous dictionary is a dictionary that has values that are not all the same type. But before you learn how to use the TypedDict, you should review how to type hint a regular dictionary. Type Hinting a Regular Dictionary A regular Python dictionary is defined…

I remember recently sitting with one of our application owners, trying to figure out why automation initiatives felt perennially stuck. Everyone on the infrastructure side had scripts that handled tedious tasks, and our development teams had pipelines that delivered code faster than ever — yet executives remained stuck on why automation wasn’t creating the kind of business impact they had expected. The answer was simple: We had never articulated our work in terms of the goals they focus on. In other words, I saw that bridging the gap between DevOps and business logic was the way past the buy-in ceiling. Where…

I’ve been very happy with Docker Desktop for years, running it on both laptop and desktop. However, a corporate decision was made to move to Rancher Desktop, so I now have an unexpected “opportunity” to learn something new.Here’s a short post on how things went on the desktop and laptop.Getting Rancher DesktopI had never heard of Rancher. I’ve met a number of Linux/Oracle people using Podman, but not Rancher. You can download Rancher from rancherdesktop.io. This is a project from SUSE, of the Linux distribution fame, and one of their many projects.The install is a next/next/next standard Windows MSI, though…

(2025-June-15) Long gone are the days when a data engineer could simply focus on building a new data integration solution. You’d establish connections to one or more source datasets, review the expected target destination, and design the required transformation logic to meet secure standards and match formatting controls on the destination side. Then you’d hit execute on the new pipeline, no errors, it looked like data moved forward (though you weren’t quite sure how much), and you’d think, “Well, it worked… probably.”Today, logging and monitoring are no longer optional. They’re integral parts of any data flow, sometimes out of necessity, to…
Cloud costs keep creeping up, and suddenly your AWS bill is 50% higher than last quarter. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever had that moment of panic, you’re not alone. Cloud costs can feel unpredictable, and for DevOps teams, balancing performance, scalability and cost efficiency is a constant challenge. Yet, FinOps often gets treated as a finance issue rather than an engineering priority. Let’s change that. Cloud cost management is a DevOps problem. Without visibility into how spending aligns with business goals, teams risk overpaying for unused resources or cutting costs at the expense of performance. Here’s how DevOps teams can embed FinOps into their…
In DevOps, speed is essential — but speed without direction is chaos. That’s where telemetry comes in. Think of it as the nervous system of your digital ecosystem: Constantly sensing, signaling and steering your platform toward better performance, reliability and user satisfaction. According to Gartner IT Ops Monitoring Research, the lack of shared, contextual telemetry across tools and teams is a significant barrier to visibility and operational efficiency in modern IT environments. In other words, without telemetry, even the most advanced DevOps pipelines risk becoming blind spots. As a product and technology leader, I’ve seen firsthand how telemetry transforms DevOps from…
